Activate

  • a concentrated (6,000 mg/L P) phosphorus source
  • activates vital chemical reactions within plants
  • enhances and accelerates the growth of aquatic plants without enhancing algae growth
  • source of potassium

Phosphorus is one of the three macro nutrients (NPK) required by plants. It is a component of ATP, NADP, nucleic acids and membrane phospholipids. Phosphorus is mobile in plants; this means that the plants divert these nutrients from older leaves to newer leaves. Thus, deficiency symptoms appear in older leaves first. Deficiency symptoms include dark, dull, or discolored leaves.

activate™ is a concentrated (6,000 mg/L P) phosphorus source. When used as directed, activate™ will enhance and accelerate the growth of aquatic plants without enhancing algae growth. For maximum benefit, use with synthesis™.

When used with aquavitro's nitrogen supplement, synthesis™ at the same dose (7 mL/250 US gallons) both products provide nitrogen and phosphorus in a 5:1 N:P ratio.

activate™ is made with potassium salts of various phosphates, and is therefore a source of potassium as well. It contains 8,800 mg/L of potassium.

Available Sizes

350 mL, 1 L, 2 L, 4 L

Directions

Use one inner capful (7 mL) per 250 US gallons (950 L) twice a week (or as needed). This dose increases phosphate by 0.15 mg/L, and potassium by 0.06 mg/L.

Note: The aquavitro cap offers multiple dosing solutions depending on the size of your system. Each inner cap thread is approximately 2 mL. The inner cap contains 7 mL, while the outer ring contains 28 mL (35 mL when both are filled to the level of the inner cap.) When filled to the top, the cap contains 49 mL.
